How do I clean my speakers?
Use a dust free cloth (such as a micro fiber cloth) 
or a soft brush to remove dust from your speakers. 
Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in 
close proximity to the drivers.
Could you suggest a list of suitable elec-
tronics and cables ideal for MartinLogan 
speakers? 
We have no favorites and use electronics and 
cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest 
listening to a number of brands—and above all 
else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best 
source for information when purchasing additional 
audio equipment.
Is there likely to be any interaction 
between my speakers and the televi-
sion in my A/V system? 
Yes. These speakers are not shielded and should 
be kept at least 2 feet away from a CRT television.
Will exposure to sunlight affect the life 
or performance of my speakers? 
We recommend against placing any loudspeaker 
in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun 
can cause deterioration of cabinet, speaker cones, 
etc. Small exposures to UV will not cause a prob-
lem. Filtering of UV rays through glass will greatly 
reduce the negative effects.
Should I use a 4, 6, or 8 Ohm rated 
amplifier with my speakers?
All of our Motion series speakers are compatible 
with 4, 6 or 8 Ohm output audio amplifiers and 
receivers. Many of the most popular brands of AV 
receivers and amplifiers with 4, 6 and 8 Ohm out-
put ratings have been thoroughly tested with all of 
our Motion series products and we have found no 
compatibility issues except under extreme listening 
conditions. For the best performance and sonic 
purity when using our Motion series products use 
of an amplifier or AV receiver with either a 4 or 6
Ohm output is recommended!
